Is visible epiglottis and throat discomfort a sign of cancer?

Hey I have a visible epiglottis and a little bit of tonsils at the back of my tongue I have had a heartburn but not anymore the epiglottis is still visible and so are the tonsils ( only 2 now) but they are not painful but I just feel like something is stuck on the right side my throat whenever I swallow saliva and a little bit of a burning sensation after taking an acid reflux medication. Is it normal or a sign of throat cancer

A visible epiglottis and slightly enlarged tonsils can be normal for some people, but the sensation of something stuck in your throat and the burning after taking acid reflux medication might need further evaluation. These symptoms are not necessarily a sign of throat cancer, but it's important to get them checked. I strongly recommend visiting an ENT specialist to assess your condition and provide the right advice.

I'm suffering 15 days vertigo problem.it's become now very painful and nausea also not going after having verten 8 tablet .From 2 days ear also start buzzing.Throat infection also started.

You need immediate medical attention by an ENT. Your ear examination and audiological assessment is of extreme importance for prompt treatment. 
Tab Vertin aggravates acid reflux, adding an antacid will help with the nausea.

Signs like throat pain, body aches, headache­, breathing trouble, and other discomforts could be­ from a cold or flu. These viral illnesse­s spread quickly. Resting up, drinking fluids, and using OTC meds may e­ase symptoms.
